DR. GAEBELElN'S MESSAGE T0 THE SENIOR CLASS VIIOULS, like individuals, change. 'Wliether they go backward or forward is the vital question. As I bid farewell to the f'lass of 1935, its members will, I believe, join me in saying that the past few years have witnessed a forward movement for the School we love. Diflicult though these years have been from the material point of view, Stony Brook has come through them strengthened and built up in the very core of her being, today she is more vitally a Christian school than ever before. And while we record our g1'atitude to God, it nevertheless remains true that He chooses to accomplish His will through human beings. No school can grow in morale and spirit without, the unselfish aid of student leaders. Because the C'lass of 1935 has given its school that aid, I desire as Headmaster to express my thanks. This is a word of farewell, yet it is also a welcomeea welcome into the larger 211111 expanding fellowship of Stony Brook alumni. If your experience coincides with that of others who have left us, you will cherish the days you have spent here as the source of some of your deepest and most precious convictions. Bethel, the House of God, the Gate of Heavenf' is what Jacob called the place where Jehovah revealed Himself to him. For some of you, Stony Brook, its chapel, its classrooms, its dormitories, and its grounds, is your Bethel. You will not forget it. But you will, like all n1en amid the quickened tempo of modern life, be asked in one way or another to let down some of the ideals of Stony Brook days. Friends of 1935, this is my parting word to you: Here you have been in touch with spiritual realities. You have much yet to learn about yourselves, the world, and God. As you learn, take for your motto these words of Paul, the great Christian warrior: Prove all things: hold fast that which is good. Zaafk 5. japblxa I'vl:f.fl'l'lI Al Ah
